Hitachi LifeStudio Plus 500GB External Hard Drive Review

by Tazim Damji

Hitachi LifeStudio Plus Reinvents the Hard Drive I am no stranger to the external hard drive—I have 2 connected to my macbook—but it can be said that I was a stranger to the portable hard drive. Previously, I had always copied (via wireless network) files from my hard drives over to my PS3 in order to watch them on my TV. I didn't know what I was missing, not having a portable hard drive! With the Hitachi LifeStudio Mobile Plus, I have a lot more options! I use the bigger fellow (500GB/main ...

Fujitsu ScanSnap S1100 Instant PDF Document Scanner Review

by Greg

As a freelance writer and occasional research assistant—I spend a great deal of my time buried under piles of paper in libraries, coffee-shops, and the occasional office. In all instances, I'm glad to have my ScanSnap S1100. Tiny and light, it's a page fed document scanner that lives in my briefcase and unfolds at a moment's notice to digitize my research. Tazim and I moved toward a paperless office years ago, and it's a decision that neither of us regrets. Wondering how to get there, we ...

Fortunately, there are some quick and easy tips for getting a handle on the kids’ stuff: Take inventory of your child’s things – are there toys that are broken (discard), or that he/she doesn’t use any more (donate)?  Have your child help you sort through the toys and learn about giving to others at the same ...

Simpler Living: A Back to Basics Guide Giveaway – 2 Winners!

by Tazim Damji

This book: Simpler Living: A Back to Basics Guide to Cleaning, Furnishing, Storing, Decluttering, Streamlining, Organizing, and More by Jeff Davidson, published by Skyhorse Publishing is perfect for those that want a bit of help organizing their home, office and life generally. This is more of a resource that you can refer to on a variety of topics, rather than a book to read from cover to cover. I especially like the section on seasonal cleaning. "The Arrival of spring presents the ...

First-Aid Organization

by Tazim Damji

Where is your first-aid kit? Mine is in my bathroom, in my linen cupboard. This really seems like the most organized place for it to be. There is a mirror, sink,  and place to sit and clean-up. I've recently read that a first-aid kit should be located elsewhere (I suppose, just so that it is not one more thing in the bathroom to organize/store), but I really don't have anywhere else to put it that would make more sense. My first-aid kit is neatly in one red bag, which is very obvious, and ...

Juli Oliver, a  professional organizer from New York, shares her tips on organizing your office (at home or elsewhere). Takeout or delivery?
